Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:


Lyrics

  1. The time for beaus to propose is the Springtime
    Ev’ry girl becomes sentimental then
    A girl will part with her heart in the Springtime
    To the love sick boy who proposes
    With the bloom of the roses

Chorus
Tell her in the Springtime, in May or in June
Tell her in the Springtime, the best time to spoon
When ev’rything begins blossoming, you’ll hear
Mendelsohn’s Spring Song tune
When the moon is shining you speak of her charms
Then is when she’s pining to rest in your arms
Don’t worry so she won’t answer “No”
If you play Romeo in the Spring

  1. A sweet romance has a chance in the Springtime
    That’s only time when the peaches fall
    Because we find love is blind in the Springtime
    And you tale of love overpowers
    If you say it with flowers
